Everest Base camp – April 22, 2010 Peak Promotion. Salt Lake City Group
We are now backing in Thamel, Kathmandu relaxing and slowly readjusting after an amazing few weeks in the Khumbu!
It all started quite late in the evening when we arrived at the KTM Airport and Mr. Wongchu with a big welcoming smile was waiting to greet us. We said our hellos and introduction, then he and his team went to work gathering us and our luggage though the maze of immigration, customs, and KTM chaos. Literally within minutes we were all comfortably in a beautiful new van on our way to the hotel. The next day we met with our guides and did a last gear check before our flight to Lukla. It was easy to see by the smile in their eyes that our Sherpa guides were experienced and eager to get us into the Khumbu! Next stop, after an exciting flight was the Airport in Lukla where the whole trekking adventure really starts. The mountains are green and tall, the people eagerly waiting to help with smiles, and a new found calm in the air. Our trek had commenced!
A trek with Peak Promotion is an incredible way to see this part of the world, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seeking out a great adventure. They are a professional guiding company with all the experience and professionalism one would expect form a well established guiding outfitter. But apart from just good services, they have incredible guides, a great knowledge of the area, and are exceptional at the planning and logistics that are involved in an otherwise chaotic country. Almost immediately from the get go, our group and the guides got along great and became a real team that continued up to the beautiful views of Everest Base camp and all the way back to Kathmandu. It will be a trip to remember and I look forward to coming back to Nepal and trekking with P.P. again!
Thanks again to Peak Promotion and out incredible guides.
